Amy Lee: I felt pressure to steal

Amy Lee used to steal movie posters from the cinema as she was 'feeling the peer pressure' from friends.

The Evanescence star has been confessing to a few small sins in a new interview. Amy has embarrassingly admitted she could be classed as a thief as she used to take advantage of film memorabilia on cinema trips with friends.

'Actually I have,' she revealed to Kerrang! magazine when asked if she's ever stolen anything.

'When I was younger, me and my friends used to steal movie posters. I didn't even want to do it, but I guess I was feeling the peer pressure. I can't remember which movie posters I even had, but you can bet they weren't good ones!'

Amy has also revealed her first memory. The songstress has recalled trying to tame a wasp, which had nasty repercussions.

'I remember being stung by a wasp,' she said. 'I was a toddler and I thought it would be cool to see if I could catch this thing, which I managed because wasps are really quite slow.

'But then it stung me and I remember being shocked by the pain. I went running indoors to my parents, sobbing.'

The raven-haired singer also revealed the last time she cried. Amy isn't afraid to show her emotions.

'Last week,' she said. 'I didn't cry about anything in particular, I just tend to cry to release stress. It's kind of like a pressure valve for me.'
